Christmas Count Down!

This year has been so much fun with the boys and we have been able to carry-on a few family traditions.  This is my Christmas count down from when I was little with fossilized candy cane to prove it!  We will see how it goes & I hope there is not a daily fight over who gets which sucker!

We have a lot to be thankful for this year!  Everyone is health, happy and ornerier than ever. We celebrated Thanksgiving lunch in Marion with NaNa Pickett and the Pettetts.

After a fun-filled morning, we drove to Mt. Vernon for dinner with NaNa Evert, Carpenters and the Everts!

Decorating with Toddlers!

I was lucky enough to have a few days off to decorate & have fun with bubbas!  They bring a whole new element to decorating but in the end were great helpers!

Charlie & his friend the reindeer!

Dance Audrey Dance!

My niece Audrey is in travelling cheer competition team.  It was very fun to watch her and all the fan fare surrounding the event.  She did great & her back handspring was awesome!  Her yellow badge of courage was a marker to watch her for the highest jump award!
 Audrey is the "base" on the left even though they wnat her to be a flyer - she has no interest - lol!

Trick or Treat!

This was the boys second year to go out and get goodies for Mommy and Daddy.  Cousins, Ninja Cooper and recently released Carter Sizemore, came along for some good grub. 
Keegan is a big fan of the movie Rio.  Absolutely loves Blue, so when we found a costume that looked similar to Blue, it was a must have. 
Is that Charlie or his alias Spot?  Charlie loves going around the house pretending to be a dog named Spot, hence his chossen costume. 
 Blue spreading his wings telling everyone he wants to go "that way!!!"
Spot with the biggest smile because of all the candy he accumulated.  Little does he know, he won't be getting that much of it.
Ninja Cooper holds up his sword telling people to back off, its his candy and you don't wanna make a ninja angry.
 Blue and Spot down the home stretch with buckets full of yummy candy.  They had such a great time trick or treating.  Mommy and Daddy were very proud of their two boys as they were very polite.
The boys were so into the trick or treating that they didn't want the night to end, so we handed out candy to other goblins in the neighborhood.
